This tiktok went viral on twitter and reminded me of the proprietor of a lesbian-run neighborhood café I lived right by a few years ago. She had a similar energy when she was trying to be funny and I couldn't bother to twist my face into anything resembling a benevolent smile when she was at it. We just had the most incompatible "vibes" any two persons could have and it was pretty much an undeclared war. Their coffee ruled, the wifi was great, so I kept coming and became one of the regulars. Plus I guess part of me enjoys being hated. Good times.

I think that's because as a pompous dick, you're legally obliged not to have a sense of humour.

Despised by basic bitches of all stripes, especially the LGBTQ ones: the jadis story.

I smell a touch of homophobia, lovely. https://hosting.photobucket.com/albu...=278&crop=fill

Having someone as dim as you for a hater is dangerously flattering. I need smart people to tell me I suck once in a while.

I mean if you have issues with people socially then that's one thing but if you choose to target gay people as the reason you have issues with people socially then either you're a bigot or you're using gay people as an excuse for having social problems.

I had one (1) lesbian have issues with me, for which I was blasted by a guy who hates me for disliking mid-2000 indie, and who happens to be gay.

The reason I felt comfortable making a gag about those two (2) misadventures with the LGBTQ community? Because my social circle and cultural world could hardly be any more removed from any whiff of homophobia, and I feel extremely secure joking about it. Walking on eggshells about this kind of stuff is extremely tedious, though I obv have to do it in the professional context as we all do.

What a dork.

In other words, **** everyone's feelings, I say what I want.

Nah, not really. One has to remember that no two people have the same exact frame of reference, that not every joke lands the way it's intended etc. But usually when familiarity and with it a common frame of expectations have been established, and you know you're on safe ground, then yeah, I usually say what I want in the confidence that it wouldn't be misconstrued.

I assumed that was the case, at least to a degree, with me and a few users on this platform: I remember joking around about lesbian friends and their mating habits, for example.

Maybe I was wrong (this is the first anonymous forum I've used since like 2006, not saying I always read the room correctly), maybe Batlord likes the woke high ground a bit too much, dunno. But then I also can't be bothered to care what someone like adidasss thinks about me: life's too short.
